That is not related to what Scott was saying: the Confluence autoexport is related to the ability to transform a Confluence page into a static html page. > > I think it can be continued this way in the meantime. I disagree that we should continue to add incomplete stuff to the trunk (and release branches) until a better design is in place. This will not stop the huge effort of creating documentation and actual content for the help screens: contributors can do this in Confluence (or similar) and then, when we will have defined a good design it will be easy to write a script to import the content into the new format.
